Open AI CEO Sam Altman Up To 9,000 Trillion Won In Investment

Open AI, can you buy NVIDIA, TSMC, and Samsung? They say they will attract 9,000 trillion won in investment. As Open AI CEO Sam Altman seeks to attract up to 9,000 trillion won in investment, interest is focused on the background.

Previously, on the 9th (local time), the Wall Street Journal reported that CEO Altman was meeting with investors with the goal of attracting investment funds worth approximately 5 to 7 trillion dollars (approximately 6,600 trillion to 9,300 trillion won).

Considering that the market capitalization of Apple and Microsoft (MS), which rank first in global market capitalization, is $6 trillion (approximately KRW 7,980 trillion), this amount is enough to acquire most companies. Currently, there are a series of posts on Twitter comparing how big a sum 9,000 trillion won is.

In particular, with 9,000 trillion won, it is possible to acquire most of all semiconductor companies in the world. Considering 1 dollar as 1,300 won, the market capitalization is 2,301 trillion won for Nvidia, 897 trillion won for TSMC, 481 trillion won for Samsung Electronics, 777 trillion won for Broadcom, 488 trillion won for ASML, 238 trillion won for Intel, 218 trillion won for Qualcomm, and 200 trillion won for Applied Materials. Texas Instruments worth 192 trillion won, etc.

Considering that the market capitalization of the top 20 semiconductor companies is approximately 7,053 trillion won, 2,000 trillion won remains even after acquiring all of them.

After attracting an astronomical amount of investment, it is known that Altman plans to design improved semiconductors that can completely change the structure of the global semiconductor market and even build production facilities.

It has also drawn up a plan to build about 10 semiconductor production facilities and then entrust the operation to Taiwan’s TSMC, a foundry (semiconductor consignment production) company.

The main source of investment is the Middle East’s ‘oil money’. In fact, he is known to have met with National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the younger brother of the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Masayoshi Son, Chairman of Japan’s Softbank, and explained his business plan.

The plan is to attract investment from the Middle East, design the product in the United States, and produce it in Asia. OpenAI said, “Productive discussions are underway to expand semiconductor functions and production,” and added, “Considering security aspects related to semiconductors, we are continuously providing related information to the U.S. government.”
